It is an historical fact that, when the
host of toiling officials and laborers on the
Atlantic, Mississippi & Ohio Railroad were
being paid in the deprecated scrip of the
company Malone was its head at the prince
~ salary of $25. 900, and that though hun
dreds of honest men were never able to COL
lect their debts against the company, Ma
hone succeeded in drawing back pay
amounting to thousands Of dollars. Viii
liam Malone always sides with monopoly
against the people he always takes care
to enrich himself, however much the money
he gets may subtract from the wages of
workingmen.- State.
Yet the laboring men Of this county are
asked by the Republicans to vote for candi-
dates who will, if elected, vote for Malone
for United States Senator.
As the State in the same article says
Malone 'has systematically voted with
great corporations in their conflicts with
the people, and more than once he has voted
against the interests Of the people of the
South" and yet the voters of Augusta are
asked to vote for candidates who would
vote to make him Senator again. Can any
70 er In Augusta Justify such a vote as
that, which is equivalent to voting for Ma.
hone We trow not.

say that we would not vote for the Repub-
lican candidates, even If "they should an
swer in the negative" and say they would
not vote for Malone, for the very good rea-
son that we would prefer to vote for the
Democratic candidates whom we know
would not vote for him, or any other Re-
publisan; and we asked the Virginian If it
would s'say that Messrs Dunlap and Craig
would not vote for Mahone," because we
wished to know if the Virginian would
vote for them If they would vote for Ma
hone, In view of its open and bold denunci-
alton Of Malone, and its declaration that
1.-THE Virgin,an has an utter detestation for
the manner in which General Malone used
his power as Senator, and would regard
it as a positive injury to the Republican
party of the nation for him to be again in
vested with that high, office and that she is
not entitled to 1t, and should not haze It,"
We asked thu question of the Vir0inian
for another reason, and that was, that we
supposed the Virginian knew whether OF
not Messrs. Dunlap and Craig would vote
for Mahons, and as they had failed to dc

voters, who have right to know, whether
or not Msssrs. Dunlap and Craig woule

Malone be correct, then no one should yot'

REFUSES TO COMPROMISE.
Young Day Says He is as GuntIess of
Crime as an Unborn Babe.

Robert Day, the thieving clerk, is still
in the county jail, contrary to the assertion
made by himself Monday that his friends
would rescue him from the clutches of
officers, who we're unkind enough to con-
fine him with men who had lost their
regulations. 1t almost broke the poor
boy 8 heart when he had to exchange his
natty tooth pick shoes for a pair of the
large, loose fitting. but comfortable car
pet-bag' slippers furnished to prisoners
by Sheriff S~harpless. Day eats sparingly
OF the food furnished him, which fact
caused Phil Watson to remark to him, Il
didn't have much use for that grub my
self when | first came here, but | can de-
stroy a heap of it now
1t is understood that Day was visited
by Interested parties yesterday and in
formed that if he would plead guilty to
the theft of 81 he would not be prosecuted
on the charge of grand larceny. The
misguided young man Indignantly spurned
this generous proposition, and it is pretty
safe to say that he will be given an oppor-
tunity to explain how $40 worth of Mr..
Myers property happened to be concealed
in his room in the Delaware block.
The preliminary examination will occur
before Judge Lee as soon as Prosecuting
Attorney Stoll finds time to attend to the
matter. Gen, John G. Thompson is the
ex- clerk counsel.
Day was visited by a number of people
yesterday, among whom was a gentleman
who formerly employed him as a book
keeper on the Cheyenne & Northern,
and who was greatly surprised at the
genial young mans downfall.
Days family has been informed of the
present situation of the ex clerk and it is
probable that some of his relatives will
arrive in a day or TWO and attempt to ex-
tricate him from his unpleasant predica-
ment,

HUNTING HOWARD HUNTER.
The Forger and Horse Thief Wanted by
the Authorities of Carbon County.

Howard Hunter, the notorious horse
thief and forger arrested here last Satur-
day upon Geographic instructions from
Portland, Ore, stating that he was wanted
badly at Billings, Mont, is one of the
worst criminals ever apprehended in this
section.
de is strongly suspected of being the
mar who robbed Paymaster Bash at An.
telope Springs, Albany county, some
months since. While he cannot be posi-
lively identified as the thief, he answers
the description much better than Parker,
who is accused of the crime. Maj. Bash
has visited the prisoner and thinks that
Hunter is the identical person who COM
mitted the audacious robbery and will
to-day swear out a warrant charging him
with the crime and he will be held here.
In the meantime parties who were present
at the time of the daring holdup will be
brought to this city to assist in the iden-
tification of Hunter.
Deputy Sheriff Errett, OF Carbon county,
arrived from the West yesterday morning
and requested that Hunter be turned over
to him, as the man stands charged with
uttering three forged checks in Rawlins
and stealing several horses in that vicinity.
The warrant specifically alleges that
Hunter used the name of Signor Bros,
stage line proprietors, and obtained $50
from Northington & Sadorus, Rawlins
business men. He also secured SIS
from Jas. Averill, postmaster at
Sweetwater, on spurious paper, and
used Mr.. Lu Smiths name
S43 worth. The unauthorized transaction
occurred last November. Hunter has a
decided penchant for recklessly signing
the name of any gentleman whom he i'm
AGNES is the fortunate possessor of a bank
account. He was for a time employed at
one OF the stations of Signor Bros, be-
tween Lander and Rawlins.
1t is hardly necessary to state that Mr..
Erret returned to Rawlins unaccompanied
by Hunter, although the latter expressed a
a desire to visit the sage brush city. The
authorities of Billings, Mont, Buffalo,
Johnson county. and, as noted above, the
United States government itself have a
prior claim upon the gentleman.
So far as the captors of Hunter are
concerned personally they prefer to see
him convicted of the robbery of Paymaster
Bash. In that event they will receive a
reward of 81, 900. Were the man taken
either to johnson or Carbon counties and
sentenced for horse stealing the standing
reward of $3.50 would be paid. From
this standpoint the departure or destina-
tion of the criminal is simply a matter of
dollars and cents.
